187 HORSESHOE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 187 HORSESHOE LANE sales between May 1996 and October 2015 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 1999 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 187 HORSESHOE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 30.8%, between October 2015 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Watford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 187 HORSESHOE LANE of £325,000 on 12th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £425,199 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
